"Cybersecurity does not have to be difficult. All it takes is being aware of the most pressing issues and doing what you can to encrypt your information, and ensure your personal data is not readily available on the internet." (from the above article)
But I think in your concern, the UNIX-philosophy plays a big role. Software, that really focuses to UNIX-principles (do one thing and do it good) will not have this problem. It is an architecture problem.
💯 this. However, I am concerned about trends promoted by enterprises - see modern web for example. It doesn't have anything in common with UNIX philosophy IMHO.
Therefor I feel it is important to bring opensource more loudly to politics and let everyone know, that our freedom depends on free software.
So maby institutions and schools schold only be allowed to use opensource software as Linux, Libre Office, LATEX and Nextcloud for public institutions.
This would bring a lot of money into these projects and allow to improve them much faster.
